While the Nintendo Switch has surpassed all of Nintendo’s previous home consoles in units sold and will go down in history as one of the most successful platforms of all time, it launched on the heels of one of Nintendo’s greatest failures… the WiiU. Nintendo’s first attempt at a touch-screen based console was a massive misstep that was met with complete consumer apathy, and the poor sales of the WiiU caused many to doubt the gaming giant’s future. It would have  been easy for Nintendo to give up after such a massive setback, but five years later they took everything they had learned and launched the Switch, creating the perfect hybrid console for at home and on the go. The WiiU’s failure was just one chapter in the story that led to the Switch.

We’ve all made mistakes that we regret, but if we place our destiny into the hands of the Lord we will find that He’ll take even those areas that represent our deepest failures and use them to serve a higher purpose. King David committed one of the greatest moral failures ever recorded, but after the painful consequence that followed he and Bathsheba had another child who would become the wisest and most successful king in history… and if we place the crumbled mess that we have made out of our lives into the Lord’s hands, He will make a masterpiece out of it, too.

Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18-19

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
